Rowe has slim chance against the King of Pop
December 27th, 2005NEW YORK: Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe has filed a suit against him
alleging that their two kids have been unlawfully abducted, but doesn’t seem
to have a good chance of winning the case.
According to pagesix.com, a lawyer said even if she gets Jackson back to
court, “it could be opening a can of worms that will get them both in
trouble. Maybe the law will do what it should have done in the first place
and take custody away from both of these two”.
Rowe had surrendered her parental rights in 2001 but had them restored
shortly before Jackson fled the country following his acquittal. Jackson has
made it legally difficult for Rowe to get her sons Prince and Paris by
shuttling between Bahrain and Dubai. A US court order would be unenforceable
in each of these countries since custody decisions are based on Islamic
laws. Even if a US court gained jurisdiction it would be difficult for Rowe
to prove her case.
Lawyer Raoul Felder says: “The first question would be, ‘How did she ever
allow these kids to be with Jackson in the first place’?”
